That's a minor third, for one thing. Those notes do not make A dim 7. I don't know what to call it, but I'm happy with the sound.

Not exactly sure, but if you slide the chord up, every 4 frets the chord repeats somewhat inverted. Well, close enough, and you'll still be "happy with the sound."

Been playing Crazy Fingers a lot lately, can't get enough of it, a summer song this summer. Been trying to remember the lyrics, but the songbook has some of them different, like "strange fingers of light." Trips me up.

Did get 12 snippets downloaded from the YouTube of the studio version, to learn the lead, with the hardest part once and twice slowed down, to my JamMan, and then transferred the entire "library" to my MacBook Pro, and retitled each snippet. Don't even need the JamMan out now, or an amp and cables, most of the time. Just lug the laptop to the acoustic and I'm ready to go.

Great song. Reminds me of Stella Blue; the cleverness of the chord sequence.

Waldo, thanks for posting the Red Rocks 87 YouTube clip. It shows clearly the fingerings you posted in forum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=2021#p153268. I also noticed a few other fingerings that I was playing differently than Jerry. Love his flow (he wrote it after all!).

One thing about the diminished chord, you can add the thumb on the low A to play the root.
